The Chevrolet Chevelle
The Chevrolet Chevelle was a mid-sized car produced over three generations, between 1964 and 1978. It was a contemporary rival to the Ford Fairlane and Plymouth Belvedere and was available with a series of in-line six cylinder and V8 engines. Based on the GM A-body platform, the Chevelle was available in sedan, coupe, convertible, station wagon and pickup (El Camino) body styles, with some production taking place in Oshawa, Ont. and Sainte-Therese, Que. Higher-end models were also badged as Malibus in Canada, which is the nameplate that took over in 1978 and still exists to this day as Chevrolet’s mid-size sedan offering.

Major upgrades are in place at the Yellowhead Arena in Neepawa. Athletica Sport Systems, based out of Waterloo, ON, has been working with the Yellowhead staff on the installation of the new arena boards and seamless glass. Pictured: The arena boards are the new style of flexible board system which provides more give when a player hits them. This variety of boards have been mandated for both the National and American Hockey Leagues. The next work slated for the Yellowhead will be the installation of the new multi-sided centre ice score clock. This season’s work is part of a multi-year upgrade program at the Yellowhead.
